    Votes matter. Votes have consequences.

    They are voting for and supporting these right-wing clowns. So YES, they are getting exactly what they deserve.

    This is no different than Republican women supporting the GOP and then being SHOCKED that the people they voted in are now limiting their access to abortions.

      This is a horrific attitude to have for policies that affect all the people who are disenfranchised by gerrymandering and mass incarceration.

        Then people should start getting angry. But it seems like no matter what laws these fascist fucks pass, no matter what draconian rules they enact, no matter what bullshit they do and say, people just sit back and take it. I am sick and tired of it.

          What do you expect people to do? Lose their precarious housing because they took time off work to march in protest? Do you want us to stop covering these violations in the news because you’re tired of seeing it?

          News reports about the truth exist to MAKE people angry. I want to see and hear about this stuff until the day it stops happening. Some of those who voted because they believed lies can only be swayed by seeing the true consequences.

          Don’t blame the powerless. Raise our voices on their behalf. Which is exactly what news reports like this are doing.

            You can cut it with the “woe-is-me, I am powerless” nonsense. The victim mentality that far too many on the Left have embraced only hurts issues, not help.

              “THE LEFT”

              Aaaaand…there it is. Cool story, bro.

              Acknowledging that power strata exist in a society and that some of us should use our positions to help those less fortunate than us is not a weakness, you dimwit.

                Clearly the heat has affected your mental capacity because you are not understanding that year after year after year Texans themselves vote in these clown. They WILLINGLY vote in the same people who push through these draconian laws.
